Walt Disney World guests planning to spend a night at Disney Jollywood Nights can officially add another reservation to their holiday plans.
Reservations are now open for Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby, which returns to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the 2026 holiday season.
The experience begins November 7 and runs on select nights through January 5, 2027. However, guests won’t simply be able to walk into The Hollywood Brown Derby and expect the restaurant’s usual dining experience.
Jazzy Holidays brings its own menu, entertainment, and atmosphere to the popular Hollywood Boulevard restaurant.
For guests who already have their Disney Jollywood Nights tickets, reservations opening September 17 means it’s time to decide whether this experience belongs in their evening.
Jazzy Holidays Returns for 2026
Jazzy Holidays offers guests a place to get away from the busier portions of Disney Jollywood Nights while remaining part of the event.
Live musicians perform smooth music and holiday classics as guests relax inside The Hollywood Brown Derby. Instead of a full traditional meal, Disney offers an event-exclusive selection of smaller dishes and specialty drinks.
Jazzy Holidays will operate November 7, 14, 16, 21, 23, and 28. December dates are December 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21, and 23. The experience finishes its seasonal run January 3 and January 5, 2027.
Capacity is limited, making advance reservations particularly important for guests who only have one Jollywood Nights date available during their vacation.
A Jazzy Holidays reservation also does not include admission to Disney Jollywood Nights. Guests need a separate event ticket, which costs between $169 and $199 per person, plus tax, depending on the date.
A Special Menu Takes Over The Hollywood Brown Derby
The regular Hollywood Brown Derby menu won’t be available during Jazzy Holidays.
Instead, Disney is offering several event-exclusive options.
Guests can order Jazzy Sliders made with bison and pork, onion jam, and Gorgonzola cheese on a brioche roll. Other choices include Chorizo Arancini, Pork Belly Bao, plant-based Tofu Bao, and Char-grilled Chicken Yakitori.
Specialty cocktails are also part of the experience, including a Cranberry-Jalapeño Margarita.
Guests should remember that food and beverages cost extra. They aren’t included with a Disney Jollywood Nights ticket.
That makes Jazzy Holidays an additional expense on top of an already separately ticketed evening, but it also offers something considerably different from spending the entire event moving through the park.
Reservations Could Become Important
Jazzy Holidays takes up valuable time during Disney Jollywood Nights, so it won’t necessarily make sense for every guest.
Those determined to experience as many attractions and entertainment offerings as possible may prefer to keep moving.
For others, however, sitting inside The Hollywood Brown Derby with live music, holiday food, and specialty cocktails could provide a welcome change of pace.
Now that reservations have opened, guests can make that decision before arriving at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney specifically warns that space is limited. Anyone attending on a particular date and hoping to experience Jazzy Holidays may want to make those plans sooner rather than waiting until the holiday season arrives.
